TEMPLEMAN Exeter branch of the Bank of Montreal is observing its 90th anniversary this, Week, accord ing_ to Charles Smith, the manager. Mr, Smith said that the bank was opened in February, 1874, near the corner of Main and. Huron streets in a tnree-storey grey brick building Which WAS first intended for use as a fur- niture store and factory. CriginallY, the offine was a branch of the Maisons Bank, which merged with the Bank of Montreal in 1925. When the bank opened in 1874, Exeter was barely a year old. The town's population of 854 was engaged in planing mills, flour and grist mills, a tannery, a foundry, flax and woolen and carriage and wagon making. In 1876, the railroad came to Exeter and the population rose by several hundred. By 1902, the centre of busi- ness in Exeter had moved north- Ward and so the bank erected a red brick building at Main arid John streets. The building is now occupied by the Exeter Public Utilities Commission. In 1943, the branch occupied the B of M's present premises. Enlargement and renovation of ,the building were completed in 1960. Mr. Smith, the local B of M manager, is also responsible for operation of the bank's of- fine at RCAF Centralia and.

Do You Want To Go To The Canadian Farm & Industrial Equipment Show? Sunday was observed as theo- logical education Sunday in both Tr iv i tt Memorial Anglican Church, Exeter, and St. Paul's, Hensall. Preacher at both churches was Bev Lindsay, a theological student at Huron College, Lon- don, who stressed the need for Young men of all walks of life to answer the call of God to the priesthood. He said: "In my course at college there are men with great diversity of background. Two have given up good jobs in the field of music, one has given up a successful career in engineering, another, a gradu- ate of OAC has given up his farm. Despite all their differ- ences, all have one similarity-- they believe that God is at work in their lives, and has called them into the sacred ministry of the church." Mr. Lindsay emphasised that it is the responsibility of every congregation to do all in their power to ensure a continuous supply of men willing to train for the priesthood. Mr. Lindsay has one more year at college before he is ordained in the Anglican Church. A graduate of Queen's University Kingston, he lives in Exeter where his wife teaches high school.
